Smackdown Thoughts

So thoughts on SD, pretty much right on time after the debacle of the two days it took me to get ITVR posted lol (oh well, better late than never and hope you enjoyed the show). Anyway, last night's show was passable. There was some decent action between R-Truth and Shelton Benjamin, and MVP and Triple H. It was great to see the Hurricane's return, and AS the Hurricane (though not in costume). "I'm just sayin' ..."

Tag team scene here also looks pretty interesting. Primo and Carlito Colon don't make a whole lot of sense on the one hand, given the continuity issue with Primo declaring his brother a 'jerk' three weeks ago (and being on Raw), and now being on SD and teaming with Carly (yet another of the nonsensical inconsistencies we were talking about this week on ITVR); but on the other being a second-generation, lazy, 'everything handed to us' tag team is kind of interesting.

Twice we had the situation of a camera entering a dressing room as an attempt to represent a wrestler's point of view (think the Babby Stroller Cam that caught Vince from his granddaughter's POV at last year's ... Summerslam or Wrestlemania or something, I think it was). Again with the silliness - it's a silly production value that works more in clearly 'fake' or 'staged' shows than on a show which is supposed to be pseudo-real.

I'm fascinated by Vladimir Kozlov and his megapush, as he feuded and beat up Jeff Hardy and Triple H this week - although since he's facing the Great Khali next week, I'm not quite sure who to root for ... and this isn't one of those great ones where I'm just rooting for a good match cuz let's face it folks, we ain't getting one of those either. THIS was some dumbarsed booking from WWE brass.

So I dunno, a mixed bag from SD - let's hope for better next week, as they've done such a great job before now. And dudes? BRING BACK EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
